@SinisterNails As a working mom who had this happen (and rubbed in to boot: “You should have been here!”), thank you for your kindness. It’s immeasurable.

@monaewrites I always read them. They’re important to the writer, so they are important to me as the reader. I feel all those supporters deserve to be acknowledged!

@Kizzume @_hxrrybxtt Banned at mine 25 years ago! No regrets.

The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel – I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours. Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

@DrTanyaRoth I love this!

Remember when I went viral this summer and got labeled as a “Feminist Academic”? The best colleagues are the ones who order you custom shirts with your new title on it.

@StanchionZine Tom Petty, two months after I lost my mom. Thankful I had a contract job that allowed me to WFH and openly sob when needed.

Which celebrity death rocked you? I have two: Philip Seymour Hoffman and Elliott Smith. I can still feel exactly what I felt upon hearing the news, still picture where I was, and I still get emotional when I see them on screen or spot an album in a record store.

@Rockets2Writing Got your email! Thanks!

@AmyZlatic do you still need a bluesky invite?

I've officially found my way to bluer skies. Gotta say the air is a lot cleaner over here... Hoping to be able to share some with others soon. Come find me if/when you can, same handle.

@stellerarts Beautiful! LLAP

A great Irish poet and singer left us today. She was beautiful, courageous and wore her heart on her sleeve. She was before her time. Nothing will ever compare to Sinéad O’Connor. Rest easy Sinéad.

@klovanchicago @arghavan_salles Night nurse refused any pain meds stronger than Advil when my block wore off. Worst night of my life, and she shamed the hell out of me to boot.

@StanchionZine Cover to cover!

When you read a literary magazine, do you read cover to cover like a novel or do you bounce around to the different pieces?

@steveoslica When are you running for office? #TeamSteeeeve

@JanaGentrySmith This is so great! I'm interested!

Sigh. All. Day. Long.

@ShannonJCurtin Summer camp: in addition to the $$$, it was a solid night of google searches, a paper calendar, a pencil with a giant eraser, and 1.5 bottles of wine, all to get a summer scheduled so I could continue working. I feel ya!

Me: "Ok, one more regular week of tuition until the crunch of summer camp hits." My summer camp: "Yay! Summer time! Please pay $300 of upfront fees this week, bestie! 🤗😊" Me "...oh. ok. " 💸💸💸

Let’s make a thread of GIFs showing how film and series portray writers writing. Because these portrayals are wild. 😂

@savranly @TaraSkurtu Okay this made me snort! Thank you!

@TaraSkurtu LOL, all the scenes of hands flying across the keyboard. My son once took a video of me writing and I thought it was a still image until the cat moved in the background.
